Sample  of  a letter  which  might  be  written 
to  any  one  interested  in  library  work,  efipeciai 
us  3 to  the  people  of  Ind.  , because  most  of  the 
soldiers  in  Camp  Shelby  are  drawn  from  that  State. 


I v/ish  to  thank  you  in  common  with  many  other 
people  of  your  State  for  the  support  which  Ind..  has 
given  to  the  Camp  Library  movement.  I feel  that 
this  is  a worthy  cause  and  that  it  is  appreciated 
by  the  soldiers. 

The  Camp  Library  at  Camp  Shelby  has  been  open- 
ed for  about  three  and  one-half  weeks.  It  is  very 
well  patronized  by  the  soldiers.  We  have  in  the 
library  about  6000  volumes,  one -half  of  which  is 
fiction  and  one-half  non-fictionj These  books  cir- 
culate very  rapidly.  Our  daily  circulation  runs 
from  250  to  450  books.  In  addition  to  the  main 
library  we  now  have  seventeen  branches.  These 
branches  are  in  the  various  Y.  M.  C.  A'.,  and  K of 
C Buildings  and  also  in  some  regimental  canteens. 
There  are  about  as  many  books  in  the  branches  and 
in  the  Base  Hospital  as  there  are  In  the  main  li- 
brary. The  branch  libraries  have  been  operation

since  early  in  the  Pall,  so  you  see  we  have  been 
supplying  the  soldiers  with  books  for  some  time,  even 
before  our  building  was  begun. 

March  18th  begins  our  Nation  Wide  Campaign  for 
gift  books.  It  will  last  for  one  week.  You  have 
doubtless  received  some  letters  from  our  head-quart- 
ers office  regarding  it.  My  purpose  in  writing 
is  to  let  you  know  something  of  the  actual  conditions 
in  Camp  Libraries  in  order  that  you  may  know  what  is 
being  done  with  your  books.  Will  you  not  make  an  ef- 
fort to  collect  good  books  for  the  camp  libraries 
and  try  to  exceed  the  maximum  plans  of  our  head- 
quarters office. 

There  is  a great  call  for  books  of  fiction  and 
good  poetry.  There  is  also  a great  call  for  tech- 
nical books,  high  school  and  college  text  and  other 
standard  non-fiction  works.  It  has  been  a pleas- 
ant surprise  to  us  to  find  the  soldiers  so  eageri-jr 
to  read  serious  books.  There  has  been  almost  as 
large  a circulation  of  nonfiction  as  fiction.  Only 
last  week  I was  compelled  to  purchase  at  retail, 
several  geometries  and  algebras  for  some  of  the 
soldiers  who  were  preparing  for  special  examina- 
tions leading  to  promotion.  I believe  ohat  the

people  of  your  community  have  sufficient  text  b®ks 
to  supply  all  of  our  demands.  You  should  be  able 
to  secure  these  for  the  Camp  Libraries. 

Press  bulletins  which  have  probably  been  sent 
to  you  from  Washington  can  be  used  to  good  effect 
in  your  local  news  papers.  Other  material,  letters 
from  soldiers  and  etc.  can  be  used  as  basis  for 
daily  news  paperlptories.  Most  of  the  news  papers 
are  very  glad  to  give  us  publicity.  You  can  also 
advertise  by  posters  in  prominent  places  about 
town  and  in  the  library. 

If  I can  be  of  any  direct  help  to  you  in  this 
matter  please  write  me  at  once.  We  shall  certainly 
appreciate  your  efforts  in  this  campaign  as  well 
as  in  the  work  which  you  have  already  done. 


Very  truly  yours,

March  7,  1918, 


Dear  Illini, 

First  of  all  I want  to  thank  you 
for  sending  the  Illini  regularly  to  Camp  Shelhy. 
Every  day  I look  for  it  and  after  reading  it, 
guard  it  rcligously  till  other  members  of  the 
tribe  get  a chance  to  look  at  it.  There  are  not 
many  of  us  here  but,  believe  me,  what  we  lack  in 
numbers  we  make  up  in  appreciation  of  anything 
which  reminds  us  of  Illinois. 


Manager  op  Camp  Libraries 
Matthew  S.  Dudgeon 


Disbursing  Officer 
william  L Brown 


Now  for  business:-  You  probably  re- 
member the  slight  agitation  which  we  made  for 
books  last  fall.  Well,  we  are  out  after  them 
again.  Only  this  time,  we  have  some  results  to 
show  and  we  know  better  what  ws  want.  For  one 
week,  March  18  to  25  there  will  be  a nation 
y wide  campaign  for  gift  books  to  be  sent  to  the 

camp  libraries.  Illinois  ought  to  lead  the  bunch 
in  this  workl 


Soldiers  want  books.  In  our  camp, 
out  of  a total  of  about  14,000  books  in  stock, 
over  seven  hundred  are  loaned  every  day.  That 
means  that  there  is  a daily  turn-over  of  five 
percent  of  our  stock.  Books  may  be  kept  out 
for  two  weeks.  That  means  that  about  seventy 
percent  of  our  books  are  in  constant  use  by 
the  soldiers!  Think  it  "over.  Can  the  university 
students  show  anything  like  that? 

Students  have  the  kind  of  books  we 
need.  Of  all  the  books  which  go  out  from  the 
Camp  Library,  nearly  half  are  non-fiction.  The 
men  are  studying  nights.  Technic  :d  books,  math 
books,  French  and  German  books,-  all  these  are 
in  great  demand.  Tell  the  gang  to  dig  out  the 
text  books  which  they  have  used  and  set  them  to 
fighting  the  Kaiser.  It  is  a waste  of  resources 
to  let  good  technical  books  lie  around  collecting 
dust  when  our  fighting  men  are  asking  for  them 
to  increase  their  fighting  power. 

Books  of  fiction,  good  literature 
of  all  sorts,  biography,  poetry,  anything  that 
you,  yourself  like  to  read  is  enjoyed  also  by

the  soldiers.  If  you  know  of  books  at  home 
which  the  whole  family  has  read,  it  will  be 
a small  bit  of  trouble  to  write  hdim®  and  suggest 
to  the  folks  that  they  start  them  on  thiir  way 
to  Prance. 


And  that  Prance  business  is  no  joke 
either.  Only  today,  I supplied  a regiment  of 
field  artillery  with  fourteen  hundred  books, 
all  prepared  for  circulation.  This  regiment 
is  leaving  for  "Over  There'.1  they  v/ill  have  a 
well  stocked  regimental  library.  Is  it  worth 
the  trouble  to  you  to  see  that  every  outfit  which 
goes  is  equally  well  supplied^ 

Now,  ofi  course,  everybody  boosts 
his  own  game.  That's  natural.  But  if  you  want 
the  straight  dope  on  ohis  business,  ask  the 
man  who  knows.  Ask  any  of  the  twenty-some 
odd  hundred  Illinois  men  who  are  in  the  service 
what  he  thinks  of  Camp  Libraries.  Then  when 
you  are  sure  you're  right,  Go  Ahead!  Dig  out 
the  books  and  send  them  over  to  the  University 
Library.  The  bunch  there  will  know  what  to  do 
with  them. 


It  is  just  another  chance  to  show 
real  Illinois  Loyalty;  another  chance  to 
follow  the  Illinois  boys  into  the  fight;  best 
of  all,  it's  another  chance  to  Help  Get  the 
Kaiser!  Let's  get  together  and  do  our 
damfiest . 

This  isn't  a form  letter,  Illini. 

It  is  a direct  personal  appeal  for  your  sup- 
port in  a campaign  which  deserves  the  best  you 
can  give  it.  It  is  more  important  than  Senior 
Exams,  more  inspireing  than  Knitting  and  more 
fragrant  than  the  Boneyard.  Remember  the  dates; 

March  18-S5,  one  week.  Make  it  a good  one. 

Yours  in  the  Faith, 

Lib. ex  '19.

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 
LIBRARY  WAR  SERVICE,  Washington,  D.C.  March  8,  1919. 

NOTES  FR OM  A MORALE  OFFICER 
WHO  VISITED  SEVERAL  CAMPS. 


"The  Camp  Library  to  my  mind  fulfills  one  of  the  most  vital  needs 
of  the  camp.  It  is  a place  where  our  men  carl  get  relaxation  and  mental 
stimulus,  and  where  they  can  feel  at  ease  without  the  ' God-bless-y ou'  at- 
mosphere of  the  other  welfare  organizat ions.,,, 

"It  is  the  one  place  in  camp  where  you  can  go  and  have  a chance 
to  meditate  or  read  in  peace  and  quiet  without  a piano  jangling  in  your  ears 
or  the  imminent  possibility  of  a prayer-meeting  interrupting  your  thoughts," 

"It  is  significant  that  in  no  camp  did  I detect  a discordant 
note  as  regards  the  library  work,  and  I can  frankly  say  this  does  not  accord 
with  my  observations  in  connection  v/ith  some  of  the  other  welfare  organiza- 
tions. This  is  of  course  partially  due  to  the  fact  that  the  library  work  is 
carried  on  in  a quiet  and  unobtrusive  manner,  but  more  particularly  to  the 
unfailing  courtesy  of  the  library  personnel  and  their  manifest  pleasure  in 
doing  even  the  smallest  thing  to  further  the  contentment  of  the  men." 

"I  believe  the  Camp  Library  is  potentially  one  of  our  strongest 
factors  for  morale,  and  I know  the  majority  of  Morale  Officers  in  the  various 
camps  will  bear  me  out  in  this  belief," 

Tnose  v/ho  are  to  be  held  in  the  Service  indefinitely  want  literatu 
wnieh  i3  entertaining  and  "which  will  direct  their  minds  from  military 
affairs"  to  keep  them  from  growing  stale  — "fiction  and  works  in  lighter- 
vein." 


"The  second  class  of  men  however,  those  about  to  receive  discharge 
are  generally  interested  in  books  on  vocational  training  and  commercial 
subjects.  In  this  work  the  libraries  are  cooperating  splendidly.  In  this 
connection  I do  not  believe  the  men  are  taking  the  advantage  of  these  books 
they  should,  or  which  I would  like  to  see  them  take.  Few  of  them  are  aware 
of  the  changed  conditions  in  the  civilian  world  and  I know  it  comes  as  a rude 
3hock  to  some  to  find  out  on  returning  home  that  things  have  changed.  In 

camp ,Mr„ has  placed  a number  of  these  books  on  a shelf  near  the 

door  of  the  library  where  the  men  can  obtain  ready  access  to  them.  Two 
other  mediums  are  offered  of  course  for  getting  these  books  before  the  men; 
one  is  putting  them,  in  the  barracks  and  the  other  is  through  the  Y.M.C.A. 
which  in  several  camps  is  conducting  classes  in  vocational  education. 

As  this  work  is  under  the  supervision  of  the  Morale  Officer  ho  is  properly 
the  one  to  work  through  for  this  purpose." 

"To  my  mind  the  most  important  function  of  the  Morale  Officer  is 
to  act  as  an  advertising  medium,  so  far  as  concerns  library  work.  In  such 
a camp  as  this  where  the  library  is  not  located  in  the  civic  center,  a judi- 
cious and  well  directed  advertising  campaign  will  accomplish  very  commendable 
results.  Where  the  building  is  not  prominent  it  should  bo  marked  v/ith  signs 
in  a very  conspicuous  manner,  either  on  the  roof  or  the  side  of  the  building;

and  appropriate  signs  can  be  posted  in  the  camp  directing  the  way," 

"The  Morale  Officer  in  most  camps  puts  out  a bulletin, 
weekly  or  otherwise  and  intended  to  convey  matters  of  interest  to  the 
command.  This  offers  an  excellent  means  of  disseminat ing  information 
on  library  work  directing  attention  to  new  books  received  or  those 
recommended  as  of  special  value," 

"But  the  Camp  Newspaper  (most  camps  have  one)  is  by  far  the 
best.  The  Morale  Officer  can  always  secure  such  space  in  this  paper 
as  he  desires  and  should  make  use  of  inserts  on  various  pages  advertis- 
ing the  library  and  the  work  it  is  doing  and  calling  attention  to  the 
advantages  it  offers.  An  enlisted  man  informed  me  recently  that  he  did 
not  even  know  that  a library  existed  in  Camp  Blank  until  he  saw  our  ad 
in  the  'Castle'  and  I venture  to  say  there  are  many  others  in  a similar 
position.  If  the  librarian  can  find  time  to  write  an  occasional  article 
either  on  the  library  work  or  on  a matter  of  current  interest  for  in- 
sertion in  the  paper  it  always  serves  a timely  purpose," 

’The  librarian  can  be  of  further  great  help  by  offering 
pertinent  suggestions  as  they  may  occur  to  him,  either  for  local 
conditions  or  for  general  morale  work;  by  being  frank  and  free  in  his 
criticisms;  and  by  being  present  at  such  conferences  of  the  welfare 
agencies  as  the  morale  officer  may  call  ( once  a week  for  example  in  this 
this  camp),"

Bocks  Help  Lick  the  Kaiser 


"Men  in  carp  read  anything  which  will  help  them  lick  the  Kaiser"’,  said 
M*  S'*  Dudgeon,  Secretary  of  the  Wisconsin  Free  Library  Commission,  in  a talk  on 
Tuesday  morning,  July  2,  at  the  camp  li’ rary  symposium  of  the  American  Li1 rary 
Association  at  Saratoga  Springs,  N.  Y, 

Mr.  Dudgeon  is  a field  representative  of  the  A*  Lb  A'*  War  Service,  and  has 
been  librarian  at  the  Great  Lakes  Naval  Training  Station  during  the  past  few 
months » 


At  this  symposium  conducted  by  Chrl  H*  Milam,  Assistant  to  the  General 
Director  of  the  Library  War  Service,  several  camp  li’rarians  and  hospital  libra- 
rians gave  personal  experiences  in  their  work.  Mr*  Dudgeon  said  in  part:: 

MTwc  hundred  and  fifty  bocks  cn  trigonometry  are  in  continuous  cir- 
culation in  one  naval  camp,  because  a thousand  jackies  are  anxious  tc 
brush  up  in  a ’-ranch  which  will  help  them  navigate  their  ships  straight 
toward  Germany’s  fleet,  and  ’:ecause  another  thousand  are  anxious  tc  under- 
stand the  trigonometry  involved  in  pointing  accurately  the  big  guns  that 
will  hurl  Kaiser  killing  shells  into  German  strongholds* 

"Bocks  "hich  will  help  him  tc  prevent  a machine  gun  from  jarring  when 
he  is  repelling  a vicious  Hun  attack,  becks  which  make  a man  better  able 
toscar  over  the  Teutonic  trenches  in  an  aeroplane,  texts  that  teach  radio 
signalling,  reading  material  that  will  make  a man  a ’-etter  an’rulance  or 
truck  driver,  the  printed  page  that  will  make  him  more  deadly  in  the 
trenches,  cr  mere  healthful  in  the  carp  — all  these,  the  men  in  the  carps 
are  anxicu3  to  read* 

"The  kecks  vhiich  are  useful  in  fitting  men  for  the  diversified  ac- 
tivities cf  military  and  naval  warfare,  which  will  rake  them  more  effective 
fighters  cn  land,  on  sea,  in  the  air,  or  under  the  water,  are  what  the 
American  soldiers  and  sailers  read,  what  they  want  to  read,  and  what  they 
ought  to  read,  tand  what  we  as  li’  rarians  must  help  them  to  read* 

"In  short  the  .American  soldier  and  sailor  is  in  deadly  eranest  and 
his  reading  shows  it*" "

Check  List  for  Requesting  Books 


Please  indicate  the  number  of  books  needed  on  each  subject.  Note  that  there  is  a chance  to  request  a 
“General  Assortment”  on  each  of  the  main  subjects.  Specify  as  closely  as  you  can,  (adding  notes  of  explanation)  just 
what  sort  of  books  are  needed,  if  the  topic  seems  too  general.  Use  blank  lines  for  additional  subjects  or  particular  books. 

We  furnish  text  books  for  library  circulation  and  reference  use  but  not  for  class-room  use.  Very  expensive 
reference  books  are  not  purchased  for  any  camps  except  those  in  which  the  A.  L.  A.  has  its  own  representatives. 

Be  conservative  and  definite  in  your  requests;  otherwise,  time  is  likely  to  be  consumed  in  correspondence  before 
the  request  can  be  granted. 

Give  the  following  information: 

Name  of  camp. 

Mail,  express  and  freight  address. 

Kind  of  camp.  Specify  what  work  the  units  are  engaged  in. 

Approximate  number  of  men  in  camp. 

What  agencies  are  supplying  reading  matter  and  to  what  extent? 

What  local  library  is  cooperating? 

How  many  and  what  kinds  of  books  are  needed? 

Where  will  reading  matter  be  housed? 

Who  should  be  notified  when  books  are  shipped? 

Will  he  arrange  for  the  circulation  of  this  reading  matter  throughout  the  entire  camp?

LIBRARY  WAR  SERVICE 

Headquarters 
The  Library  oi  Congress 
Washingt  on , D .C  . 

SOLDIERS*  SCRAP  BOOKS 

Suggestions  to  Volunteers  adapted  from  outline 
issued  by  the  Chicago  Public  Library, 

These  suggestions  are  issued  to  persons  who  have  kindly 
offered  to  make  up  Scrap  Books  for  wounded  or  sick  soldiers  too  weak 
or  ill  to  be  physically  able  to  hold  a bobk  , or  mentally  capable  of  ex- 
tended reading* 


While  the  following  directions  (which  are  based  upon  the 
experience  in  England  where  thousands  of  such  Scrap  Books  have  been  made 
upon  the  original  suggestion  of  Mr*  Rudyard  Kipling),  should  be  followed 
as  to  general  lines,  it  is  expected  that  the  individuality  of  each  contrib- 
utor will  be  brought  out  ih  many  novel  touches,  which  will  not  only  add 
to  their  interest  but  will  set  each  book  off  from  all  others  in  various 
evidences  of  a sympathetic,  human  personality  bound  in  between  the  covers. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Scrap  Bocks  are  f or  young 
American  men,  not  for  children.  Contents  should  appeal  to  virile,  active 
adults  with  wide  interests  and  a lively  curiosity  about  everything  under 
the  sun. 


Also;  they  are  for  invalids,  convalescents,  far  from  home,  in 
hospitals,  hospital  ships,  and  perhaps,  prison  camps. 

Sentimental  subjects  calculated  to  bring  on  "homesickness"  or 
"the  blues" , must  be  resolutely  excluded  on  plain  therapeutic  grounds. 

In  the  English  Scrap  Book,  all  references  to  Christmas  and 
similar  home  subjects  are  barred. 

Use  coloced  pictures  plentifully  - magazine  covers  are  good. 
When  possible,  put  more  than  one  picture  on  a page,  breaking  it  up  with 
little  poems,  stories,  accounts  of  new  inventions,  or  other  facts. 

The  quality  of  paper  used  in  the  daily  newspapers  is  such  that 
clippings  from  them  will  probably  turn  yellow,  or  crumble  away.  As  a 
general  rule  they  should  not  be  used.  Whenever  the  picture  has  a des- 
criptive title,  do  not  fail  to  leave  it  on. 


-2- 


Lbave  a little  border  of  white  paper  around  pictures 
wherever  possible,  A backing  sheet  of  white,  with  a little  of  the 
edge  showing,  might  be  laid  under  pictures  having  no  margin,  before 
pasting  down,  Whole  pages  of  j < kee  , pictures,  jingles,  etc,,  from  the 
magazines  and  the  comic  weeklies  are  good.  On  the  other  hand,  subjects 
of  serious  or  practical  interest  should  not  be  overlooked. 

Pages  or  clipped  articles  (especially  if  illustrated)  from 
magazines  like  the  Scientific  American,  Techinal  World,  World’s  Work, 
as  well  as  good  short  travel  articles  (always  with  pictures)  are  very 
acceptable , 


Variety  should  be  the  result  aimed  at,  but  wholesome,  well 
balanced  variety,  seasoned  with  good  taste  and  judgement,  and  due  respect 
for  the  mental  calibre  of  our  prospective  readers;,  and  savored  but  not 
saturated  with  spices  such  as  wit,  color,  and  good  cheer. 

Pictures  and  stories  of  the  war  itself,  while  not  wholly  ex- 
cluded, should  be  judiciously  chosen.  The  bright  and  humorous  side  is 
always  acceptable.  Illustrations  or  accounts  of  engineering  or  military 
features  (e,g»,  "the  tanks")  would  be  interesting,  Going  too  deeply  in- 
to war  subjects,  might,  however  lead  to  difficulties  with  some  zealous 
censor.  On  the  whole,  the  boys  will  probably  be  glad  to  see  something 
in  which  war  is  not  the  main  topic. 

Persons  with  artistic  ability  might  well  add  little  touches 
with  pen  or  brush,  either  by  way  of  borders  or  cover  decorations  or 
entire  pictures.  Literary  contributions  would  be  best  restricted  to 
clipped  material. 

In  mounting,  use  soft  pliable  flour  paste,  or  good  library 
paste,  and  use  it  sparingly.  Mount  pictures  on  both  sides  of  each  leaf, 
and  on  inside  covers.  It  is  a good  plan  after  the  leaves  have  had  a 
little  time  to  "set"  or  after  the  whole  book  has  been  finished,  to  lay 
each  leaf  between  two  pieces  of  cloth  (t  owels  ,etc . ) and  press  with  a hot 
iron.  Then  lay  the  whole  book-  overnight  beneath  a flat  heavy  object. 

While  not  required,  there  seems  to  be  no  good  reason  why  the 
maker  of  each  book  should  not,  if  he  chooses,  sign  his  name,  and  perhaps 
address,  on  the  last  page. 

Our  Hospital  librarians  report  that  this  personal  touch  adds 
considerable  interest  to  the  scrap  books. 

From  time  to  time  notify  A.L.A.  Headquarters  the  number  of 
scrap  books  on  hand  so  as  the  hospital  needs  are  reported  they  may  be  « 
filled  promptly.

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 

Overseas  War  Service 
Paris  Headquarters:  10  Rue  de  1’  Elysee 

Suggestions  for  Camp  Library  Service 

The  American  Library  Association  has  been  entrusted  by  the 
War  and  Navy  Departments  with  the  task  of  providing  an  ade- 
quate book  service  for  the  armed  forces  of  the  United  States  on 
land  and  sea,  at  home  and  abroad,  and  wishes  to  make  certain 
suggestions  for  the  administration  of  the  book  collections  which 
it  is  placing  at  the  service  of  our  men  directly  with  individual 
units,  as  well  as  through  the  medium  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  Red 
Cross,  Knights  of  Columbus,  and  Salvation  Army,  or  under  the 
supervision  of  Chaplains  and  other  officers. 

What  it  is  trying  to  do  is  much  more  than  merely  to  dump  in 
the  camps  a haphazard  lot  of  reading  matter.  It  is  trying  not  only 
to  supply  carefully  selected  books  in  adequate  volume,  but  also  to 
suggest  methods  for  their  administration  which  will  get  the  ut- 
most possible  value  from  them  by  conserving  them  and  keeping 
them  in  circulation. 

The  procedure  outlined,  while  susceptible  of  such  minor  varia- 
tion as  special  conditions  demand,  is  the  result  of  wide  experience 
both  in  library  and  camp.  It  has  been  thoroughly  tested,  and  is  the 
simplest  and  easiest  method  of  handling  the  books  in  an  efficient 
way. 

Here  in  France  it  is  especially  necessary  that  these  suggestions 
be  carefully  followed.  Tonnage  is  scarce  and  books  precious;  it 
is  therefore  the  duty  of  everyone  concerned  in  their  administra- 
tion to  see  that  they  are  not  carelessly  or  wantonly  treated. 

No  barriers  should  be  raised  between  the  men  and  the  bocks; 
no  deposit  should  be  charged;  but  the  men  should  be  unpressed 
with  the  idea  that,  to  play  square,  they  must  return  all  books 
promptly  and  in  good  condition.  Experience  has  shown  that  no 
system  is  as  successful  as  the  honor  system,  when  properly 
applied. 


To  some,  the  following  suggestions  may  seem  needlessly  de- 
tailed ; but  the  purpose  has  been  to  make  them  so  explicit  that  they 
could  not  possibly  be  misunderstood. 

A.L.A.  books  are  shipped  in  special  units,  which  may  be  stacked 
together  after  the  fashion  of  a sectional  book-case.  Each  unit 
holds  about  sixty  books,  and  each  volume  is  equipped  with  a 
book-card  and  pocket,  so  that  it  may  be  issued  withou*  further 
preparation : 

EXCEPT  this  one  small  detail:  1°  every  lot  of  books  there 
may  be  some  duplicates.  It  will  be  necessary  to  get  together  all 
the  duplicates  in  the  allotment  for  any  one  point,  and  number 
them  “Copy  1,”  “Copy  2,”  and  so  on.  The  book-cards  must  be 
similarly  numbered,  in  order  that  it  may  be  possible  to  tell 
when  a book  is  returned,  which  card  belongs  to  it.  Or,  if 
preferred,  all  the  books  in  the  collection  may  be  numbered  con- 
secutively, the  number  being  placed  on  the  inside  book-cover 
above  the  book  pocket  and  also  on  the  card,  which  will  serve  to 
bring  book  and  card  together  whenever  there  are  duplicates.  If 
it  was  possible  to  do  this  work  in  advance,  it  would  be  done  for 
you ; but  it  is  not  possible,  as  no  one  can  foresee  how  the  units 
will  be  combined. 

1.  The  principal  object  of  every  recording  system  is  to  indi 
cate  who  has  each  book  and  when  it  is  due.  In  the  camp  library 
system,  this  is  accomplished  by  means  of  a book-card,  which  will 
be  found  in  a pocket  on  the  inside  back  cover  of  every  book.  It 
bears  at  the  top  the  last  name  of  the  author  of  the  book,  and  the 
book’s  title.  Beneath  are  spaces  for  the  name  of  the  man  drawing 
the  book,  the  organization  to  which  he  belongs,  ana  the  date  upon 
which  the  book  should  be  returned. 

2.  In  issuing  a book,  take  the  card  from  the  pocket,  and  enter 
the  man’s  name  and  organization,  together  with  the  date.  Keep 
the  card  and  hand  the  book  to  the  man,  who,  of  course,  has  seen 
the  entries  made  and  therefore  knows  there  is  a record  against 
him.  (It  is  often  feasible  to  permit  the  men  to  make  their  own 
entries  and  simply  pass  in  the  cards.  Certainly  it  is  better  to  per- 
mit this  than  to  have  the  books  tied  up  because  there  is  no  one  to 
fill  out  the  cards.) 

3.  At  the  end  of  each  day,  gather  together  the  cards  for  the 
books  issued  that  day,  arrange  them  alphabetically  by  author,  and 
put  them  in  their  proper  places  in  the  card  file.  It  takes  but 


a few  minutes  to  do  this,  and  it  will  be  found  a great  timesaver, 
because  when  a book  is  returned,  the  card  which  belongs  to  it  can 
be  found  in  an  instant. 

In  order  to  keep  the  cards  in  proper  shape,  it  will  be  necessary 
to  have  a tray  and  set  of  guide-cards.  They  cannot  be  furnished 
at  present,  and  the  person  who  administers  the  books  must  devise 
them.  The  cards  are  3"x5"  and  must  be  filed  on  end : the  trav 
which  holds  them,  therefore,  should  be  about  3%"  wide, 
dee]),  and  8"  long,  inside.  A perfectly  satisfactory  tray  can,  with 
a little  ingenuity,  be  made  from  a cigar-box.  A three  cornered 
block  behind  the  cards  will  keep  then;  upright.  Guide-cards 
should  project  j/2"  above  the  book-cards,  and  should  bear  on  the 
projections  letters  A to  Z. 

4.  When  a book  is  returned,  look  at  the  author’s  name,  find 
the  proper  book-card  in  the  file,  check  off  the  date  with  a pencil 
return  the  card  to  the  pocket  and  the  book  to  the  shelf.  The 
transaction  is  complete. 

5.  The  time  limit  will  depend  somewhat  upon  the  character  of 
the  camp.  For  the  present,  it  is  recommended  that  the  standard 
period  of  issue  be  one  week,  with  privilege  of  renewal  for  a simi- 
lar period.  This  renewal  privilege  should  ordinarily  apply  onlv 
to  technical  books,  or  books  of  serious  character : it  should  sel- 
dom apply  to  fiction. 

6.  Every  week,  then,  it  will  be  necessary  to  run  through  the 
cards  and  pick  out  those  belonging  to  books  which  have  not  been 
returned  on  time.  There  are  various  ways  of  getting  these  books 
back.  A list  may  be  turned  over  to  the  top-sergeant  of  each 
company,  provided  the  commander’s  permission  has  been  secured ; 
over-due  notices  may  be  sent  directly  to  the  men  with  their  mail  ; 
a list  may  be  posted  on  a bulletin-board.  In  one  camp,  the  Adju- 
tant issues  a notice  the  first  of  every  month  reminding  the  men  to 
return  all  books  which  may  be  in  the  barracks.  It  is  for  the  local 
administration  to  choose  which  method  shall  be  followed — but  it 
should  be  remembered  that  this  is  the  crucial  test  of  the 
system.  If  it  does  not  get  the  books  back,  it  is  a failure. 
And  in  just  the  degree  that  it  succeeds  in  getting  them  back 
and  keeping  them  in  circulation,  it  is  a success. 

7.  In  every  shipment  will  be  found  placards  which  should 
help  to  get  them  back.  They  should  be  posted  conspicuously 
above  the  books.  There  is  also  a supply  of  cards  and  pockets  to 


be  used  in  replacing  any  which  are  lost  or  worn  out,  and  also  in 
providing  all  the  books  already  on  hand  with  an  equipment  similar 
to  that  in  the  A.L.A.  books,  so  that  all  books  may  be  administered 
in  the  same  way.  A further  supply  of  cards  and  pockets  will  be 
furnished  upon  request. 

8.  It  has  been  the  custom  in  many  places  to  require  the  man 
taking  out  a book  to  make  a deposit  of  two  or  three  francs,  t > 
guarantee  its  return.  The  American  Library  Association  is  firmly 
opposed  to  this  practice.  It  feels  that  no  such  barrier  should  be 
Greeted  between  the  men  and  the  books;  if  such  a barrier  is  nec- 
essary, it  is  because  the  administration  is  at  fault.  The  honor 
system  will  unquestionably  succeed  with  the  right  sort  of  helpful 
supervision,  and  where  proper  care  is  taken  to  make  the  men  un- 
derstand just  what  is  expected  of  them. 

9.  No  stipulation  is  made  with  regard  to  reports,  but  the 
A.L.A.  is  glad  to  receive  reports  of  circulation  (based  upon  the 
number  of  cards  filed  each  day,  which  should  be  counted  at  the 
time  they  are  alphabetted),  as  well  as  news  of  every  sort  about  its 
book  service.  “Human  interest”  stories  are  especially  valuable, 
because  they  can  be  used  at  home  in  asking  for  fresh  book  do- 
nations. 

Besides  fiction  and  general  literature  of  a lighter  character, 
such  as  is  included  in  all  the  boxes,  the  A.L.A.  is  ready  to  pro- 
vide, as  far  as  possible,  special  technical  books  dealing  v\  ith  mili- 
tary subjects.  It  welcomes  requests  for  special  books  to  fit  spe- 
cial needs,,  and  is  trying  to  build  up  at  its  Paris  headquarters  a 
reservoir  collection  from  which  all  such  requests  may  be  prompth 
filled. 

It  also  welcomes  suggestions  for  the  improvement  of  its  service 
and  information  as  to  places  where  books  are  needed.  Its  tech- 
nical knowledge  is  at  the  service  of  everyone  requiring  it;  and  it 
hopes  that  its  Paris  headquarters,  10,  Rue  de  l’Elysee,  will  become 
the  place  toward  which  all  members  of  the  A.E.F.  who  are  inter- 
ested in  books  will  naturally  turn.  A well  equipped  reading  room 
is  maintained  there;  for  those  engaged  in  research  along  special 
lines,  the  services  of  a trained  reference  librarian  are  available: 
lists  of  books  on  special  subjects  may  be  consulted,  and  in  many 
cases  the  books  themselves  examined.  If  a visit  in  person  is  noc 
posible,  a mail  inquiry  will  bring  prompt  response.

RRY  CALL  FOR  BOOKS 


A.  L.  A.  War  Service  Must  Have  Another  Half 
Million  Volumes  at  Once. 


Overseas  representatives  of  the  A.  L.  A.  cable 
that  three  quarters  of  a million  more  books  must  be 
sent  to  them  at  once  if  the  actual  need  for  reading 
matter  among  American  soldiers  is  to  be  met. 

After  all  available  books,  including  possible  pur- 
chases and  books  from  closing  camps  have  been 
computed,  there  remains  a shortage  of  nearly  half 
a million  volumes.  These  must  be  oblained  as 
gifts. 

Many  of  the  two  and  a quarter  million  books  that 
have  been  sent  over  have  been  worn  out,  or  lost 
through  the  exigencies  of  war  and  transportation. 
The  communications  printed  here  show  that  the 
condition  is  not  overstated  and  that  the  need  is 
urgent. 

Cable  received  January  16th  from  Burton  E. 
Stevenson,  European  representative: 

“Demand  for  books  unbelievably  great  and 
supply  inadequate;  rush  all  possible  shipments.” 


Cable  January  16th  from  Dr.  Herbert  Putnam, 
General  Director,  now  in  Paris: 

“Need  most  urgent  for  plentiful  supply  miscel- 
laneous fiction,  nonfiction,  buy  freely,  hasten  ship- 
ments.” 


Letter  from  Mr.  Stevenson,  January  22nd: 

"*  * * i have  already  cabled  you  two  or 
three  times  concerning  the  unprecedented  demand 
for  books,  which  are  now  pouring  in  upon  us.  I 
trust  that  shipments  will  be  made  as  large  as 
possible  and  that  no  attention  will  be  paid  to  ton- 
nage limitations.  * * * All  of  our  departments 
here  at  headquarters  are  going  full  steam  ahead. 
The  only  discouraging  feature  in  the  situation  is 
that  our  supply  of  books  is  lamentably  small.  Two 
weeks  ago  we  had  over  2000  cases  at  the  warehouse. 
Today,  there  are  less  than  200  cases  of  miscellaneous 
books  available  for  distribution.  Kerr  is  out  this 
afternoon  seeing  if  he  can  pick  up  ten  or  fifteen 
thousand  books  in  the  Paris  market  to  tide  us  over 
until  a further  shipment  arrives  from  America.” 


Cable  received  February  7th  from  Mr.  Stevenson: 

"Rush  all  possible  fiction  and  miscellaneous  ship- 
ments.” 

Letter  from  Mr.  Stevenson,  February  13th: 

“You  will  be  distressed  to  know  that  for  the  past 
ten  days  we  have  had  practically  no  miscellaneous 
books  available  for  distribution.  We  have  pur- 
chased 15,000  copies  of  Nelson  fiction  here  in  Paris, 
which  we  are  having  prepared  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
but  this  will  be,  of  course,  merely  a stop-gap.  Our 
service,  away  last  April,  started  off  with  this  Nelson 
fiction,  but  I never  expected  to  have  to  return  to  it. 
The  demand  for  miscellaneous  books  was  never  as 
great  as  it  is  now,  and  we  should  strive  to  meet  it 
in  every  possible  way.  It  is  a disappointment  to 
know  that  the  result  of  your  December  appeal  was 
so  unsatisfactory.  I surely  trust  that  you  will  con- 
tinue to  make  the  appeal  in  the  larger  cities  of  the 
United  States  and  try  to  get  it  through  in  some  way 
to  the  people  that  the  men  over  here  need  books 
more  now  than  they  have  ever  done.  It  will  be  at 
least  six  months,  perhaps  a year,  before  we  shall 
dare  to  slacken  our  efforts  in  this  respect.” 

Cablegram  from  Dr.  Putnam,  February  18th: 

“Urge  everything  possible  to  stimulate  book  and 
magazine  donations.  Need  never  greater  than 
present.  At  least  million  more  fiction  and  miscel- 
laneous books  demanded  within  next  six  months 
to  maintain  army  morale.” 


Letter  from  Mr.  Stevenson,  February  27th: 

"*  * * We  are  going  to  need,  between  now 
and  next  July,  at  least  three-fourths  of  a million 
more  of  miscellaneous  books.  Many  of  these  can 
be  secured,  I hope,  from  the  camps  that  are  closing 
up  in  America;  and  I trust  that  you  will  concentrate 
all  your  energies  on  getting  these  books  through  to 
us  as  rapidly  as  you  can.  The  demand  for  miscel- 
laneous reading  matter  is  tremendous,  and  it  will 


probably  interest  you  to  know  that  as  a resuH^^P~ .e 
advertisement  we  had  last  Friday  in  the  ' 'StarWmd 
Stripes”  our  yesterday’s  mail  consisted  of  at  least 
1200  letters  from  men,  asking  for  special  books.  I 
am  looking  for  this  deluge  to  continue,  and  we  are 
struggling  to  get  our  Mail  Department  large  enough 
to  deal  with  it  promptly.” 


Cable  received  March  15th,  from  Mr.  Stevenson: 
“*  * * Maintain  gift  and  camp  library  mis- 

cellaneous and  fiction  shipments  largest  possible.” 


Extract  from  letter  from  H.  T.  Dougherty  at 
Brest,  March  5th: 

“At  the  present  time  there  are  in  this  district 
some  70,000  men  and  considerably  less  than  7,000 
volumes.  Since  I have  been  in  Brest,  but  one  ship- 
ment of  books  has  gone  through,  and  from  this  I 
snitched  14  out  of  39  cases.  All  other  book-bearing 
ships  have  gone  to  ports  south  of  Brest.  This  is 
unfortunate  for  me,  and  especially  for  the  men  here. 
If  you  could  be  at  camp  as  frequently  as  I am  and 
hear  the  oft-repeated  call  for  books — well,  you  would 
probably  be  able  to  get  some  somewhere.  If  you 
know  where  that  where  is,  I wish  you  would  shoot 
along  that  information.  It  seems  to  be  my  lot  to 
get  into  territory  where  books  do  not  grow.  You 
may  remember  that  in  Texas  it  -was  necessary  to 
conduct  a campaign  before  I could  start  a library. 
Here  a campaign  is  out  of  the  question,  but  I rely 
on  you  fellows  back  in  the.  states  to  send  a few. 
Every  few  days  I take  a trip  to  the  wharves, 
examining  the  cargo  manifests  of  every  incoming 
steamer,  but  with  one  exception  have  never  found 
a thing.  The  men  there  mu«t  think  it  a myth  that 
the  A.  L.  A.  actually  deals  in  books. 

On  February  28,  the  library  building  at  Pontan- 
ezen  was  started,  and  I wired  Paris  Headquarters 
that  I was  ready  for  books  and  help.  Back  comes 
word  that  they  are  sending  me  50  cases  (3,500)  when 
I hoped  it  would  be  about  400  cases, — which  I knew 
they  did  not  have. 

Extract  from  letter  from  Blanche  Galloway  at 
Brest,  March  21st: 

"There  are  60,000  men  in  that  one  camp,  and 
three  other  camps  and  two  large  hospitals  crying  to 
be  served  in  this  neighborhood.  We  are  giving 
them  all  a little,  and  hoping  for  more  books  to  serve 
them  better.” 


Extract  from  letter  from.  Esther  Johnston  at 
Le  Mans,  March  3rd.: 

“To  make  obvious  the  opportunity  and  possibili- 
ties for  the  A.  L.  A.  here,  I might  say  that  as  to  the 
American  Embarkation  Center,  it’s  the  biggest 
camp  in  France,  with  from  200,000  to  300,000  men 
camped  within  its  area  of  100  square  miles.  There 
are  innumerable  camps,  more  or  less  isolated, — the 
Forwarding  Camp  the  largest, — while  in  Le  Mans 
are  the  headquarters  with  a constant  flow  of  men 
from  the  adjacent  country. 

“The  book  supply  is  woeful, — there  isnt’  nearly 
enough  material,  and  requests  coming  from  eveiy 
side.  Men  who  have  not  seen  books  for  eighteen 
months,  who  have  been  in  trenches  at  the  front 
until  they  came  to  the  deadly  monotony  of  their 
muddy  camps  at  Le  Mans,  are  without  books  still. 
Their  officers  plead  for  boxes  of  books,  while  the 
best  that  can  be  furnished  for  the  present  is  a sop 
of  two  or  three.  At  a rough  guess,  about  18,000 
books  have  been  distributed  over  this  area,  many  of 
which  have  disappeared  with  the  men  who  broke 
camp  suddenly. 

“Now  the  Paris  office  is  sending  a good  many 
boxes  down  to  us,  fiction  and  technical:  but  our 
library  will  be  very  meagrely  equipped  when  we 
open.  I hope  there  will  be  a constant  flow  here- 
after. 

“This  explanation,  written  in  the  midst  of  many 
interruptions  from  muddy,  tired  and  bored  dough- 
boys, is  because  we’ve  heard  rumors  of  a let-down 
in  the  sending  of  books  from  America.  I think  it’s 
probably  untrue  for  we  hear  all  sorts  of  rumors;  but 
you  will  know,  and  if  there’s  a project  for  stopping 
the  sending  of  books,  I know  you’ll  put  in  a strong 
"word.”

So  many  inquiries  have  recently  been  addressed  to  this 
office  regarding  the  final  disposition  of  the  books  after  the  close 
of  the  Library  War  Service,  that  it  is  impossible  to  write  a 
separate  letter  to  each  inquirer.  The  situation  is  this! 

The  War  Service  Committee  of  the  American  Library  Associa- 
tion is  giving  careful  considerat ion  to  this  subject;  their  desire 
bein6  that  the  first  choice  be  given  to  the  War  and  Navy  Departments 
for  a continuing  library  service  to  the  men  in  the  army  and  navy 
respectively.  If  books  remain  after  these  needs  have  been  met,  it 
is  very  possible,  in  fact  probable,  that  the  Committee  will  consider 
favorably  placing  the  books  in  certain  communities  not  possessing 
libraries  or  library  facilities,  especially  communities  in  the  South 
and  South-West,  these  being  portions  of  the  country  which  have  the 
fewest  libraries. 

For  the  present,  all  the  books  available  are  needed  for 
soldiers  and  sailors.  Only  recently  Dr.  Putnam,  Librarian  of  Congress 
and  General  Director  of  the  Library  War  Service,  who  is  now  in  France, 
cabled  us  that  at  least  a million  more  books  and  magazines  should 
be  sent  over  within  the  next  six  months.  There  are  a full  million  and 
a half  soldiers  still  in  France  and  they  are  demanding  books  for 
study  and  recreational  reading  more  insistently  than  ever  before. 
Consequently  any  consideration  other  than  for  the  use  of  the  soldiers 
and  sailors  must  be  deferred.  In  the  meantime  we  are  holding  for  the 
War  Service  Committee  your  request  and  others  of  like  nature. 


Very  truly  yours,

SPECIAL  MEMORANDUM 
SUBJECT:  Books  for  Overseas. 

To  the  Camp  Librarian: 


The  enclosed  "Hurry  Call"  explains  the  urgency  of 
the  present  need  for  more  books, 

We  believe  that  most  of  the  large  Camps  can  spare  a 
few  thousand  volumes  without  crippling  the  work  too  greatly. 

Mr,  Charles  A.  Read,  who  has  had  a year's  experience  as  Librarian  in 
several  Camps,  has  just  been  appointed  Field  Representative.  Mr.  Read 
has  spent  several  days  at  Headquarters  reading  the  appeals  for  books 
that  have  been  sent  in  from  our  Paris  Office.  We  are  sending  him  out 
to  interview  the  Camp  Librarians,  to  explain  personally  the  need  as 
shown  in  the  overseas  letters,  to  go  over  the  book  collections  at  each 
Camp  in  company  with  the  Camp  Librarian,  and  to  arrange  with  the 
Camp  Librarian  for  the  shipment  to  Dispatch  Of  f icssd’ what  ever  can  be 
spared  from  the  Camp  collection. 

Do  not  infer  from  this  action  that  Headquarters 
minimizes  the  work  in  the  U.S,  Camps,  We  realize  that  the  home 
work  is  more  important  than  ever  during  the  remaining  months,  but 
where  a Camp  of  20,000  or  30,000  men  in  the  United  States  has  a col- 
lection of  20,000  or  3b, 000  volumes,  an  army  of  300,000  men  in  France 
has  only  b 0,000  or  7b, 000  books  available. 

We  are  confident  that  you  will  consider  this  from 
tne  point  of  view  of  the  v/ork  as  a whole  and  do  your  best. 


Very  truly  yours, 

MALCOLM  G.  WYER

To  the  Library  War  Service  Worker: 

You  have  a story  to  tell,  based  on  your  experience  in 
the  Library  War  Service.  Aspects  of  the  work,  as  you  have  seen 
it  in  camps  or  hospitals  or  overseas,  may  provide  the  material 
for  a magazine  or  newspaper  article.  Your  local  newspaper  would 
assuredly  be  interested  in  an  account  such  as  your  return  from 
the  service  would  afford  an  occasion  for  giving.  It  would  be 
likely  to  receive  attention  even  if  you  have  been  back  at  your 
peace-time  duties  for  some  time.  If  you  are  still  in  the  field, 
a letter  to  your  newspaper  will  help  to  create  interest  in  public 
library  service. 

While  the  work  of  the  Library  War  Service  is  closing, 
the  work  of  the  American  Library  Association  will  go  on.  There 
is  a big  field  for  the  A.  L.  A.,  and  in  order  that  we  may  be 
trusted  to  meet  the  opportunities  which  lie  ahead,  the  public 
must  know  of  the  service  we  have  already  rendered.  Every  article 
about  library  work,  whether  it  deals  with  the  war  service  or 
with  the  larger  peaoe-time  aspects,  will  help  to  bring  a general 
realization  that  an  adequate  nation-wide  public  library  service 
is  vitally  necessary  to  the  development  of  the  nation. 

Will  you  not  aid  in  creating  such  public  sentiment, 
through  whatever  medium  of  publication  you  wish?  Whether  the 
publication  has  a general  or  local  circulation,  utilizing  it 
will  v/ in  for  us  needed  support. 

Very  truly  yours, 

GEORGE  B.  UTLEY, 


Executive  Secretary.

To: 

Subject:  Library  War  Service  to  the  vessels  of  the  Fleet. 

1,.  According  to  his  report,  Mr.  Harold  Wo  ester,  representative 
of  the  American  Library  Association  was  able  to  be  of  some  service  in  pro- 
viding your  ship  with  books  and  magazines  during  the  period  of  maneuvers 
at  Guantanamo  bay.  For  your  information,  a list  of  the  magazines  for 
wnich  subscriptions  have  been  authorized  appears  below.  They  will  begin 
with  the  May  number  and  continue  for  six  months.  In  case  of  unnecessary 
delay  or  failure  to  receive  these  periodicals,  notice  should  be  sent  to 
this  headquarters. 

2.  pVir . Wooster  wall  be  at  New  York  during  the-  visit  of  the  Fleet. 
His  assistance  and  the  resources  of  our  dispatch  offices  are  at  your  service. 
We  would  suggest  that  the  A.L.A,  books  on  board  which  have  been  read  and 
re-read,  or  wnich  have  proved  unsuitable,  should  be  exchanged  at  Mew  York 
for  a new  collection.  If  possible  it  would  be  well  to  visit  the  dispatch 
office  at  *411  Third  Avenue,  Brooklyn,  and  select  from  the  stock  such 
books  as  tne  officers  and  crew  of  the  ship  need. 

Very  truly  yours, 

Assistant  Director.

BOOK  STATISTICS  SHEET  CAMP MONTH  OF 

Follow  regular  A.  L.  A.  rules  for  counting  circulation.  No  loan  counted 
except  actual  record  of  loan  to  a borrower.  Books  sent  from  main  to  branches 
not  counted  as  circulation.  If  one  man  borrows  a book  and  10  friends  read  it, 
count  1_,  as  that  is  certain.  You  can  make  a careful  estimate  that  the  average 

book  loaned  to  one  soldier  is  read  by  men,  and  this  will  be  balanced  by 

estimates  from  other  camps  for  a face-value  estimate  in  publicity.  But  statis- 
tics recorded  below  must  be  actual  from  daily  or  regular  count  of  book  cards. 


Use  a separate  line  for  each  distributing  point.

DEPARTMENT  of  the  interior 
Bureau  of  Education 


EDUCATIONAL  WORK  IN  THE  TRAINING  CAMPS. 

Educational  classes  in  the  army  camps  form  an  important  part  of 
the  work  of  the  Committee  on  Training  Camp  Activities.  This  work  is 
maintained  with  the  help  of  local  committees.  One  of  the  way  in  which 
these  local  committees  are  cooperating  most  effectively  with  the  camp 
forces  is  in  the  securing  of  teachers  of  French  and  other  subjects. 

The  men  are  eager  to  prepare  themselves  for  the  time  when  "somewhere 
in  France"  they  will  meet  the  men  with  whom  they  are  to  fight  side  by 
side.  The  War  Recreation  Boards  in  many  cities  are  making  this  pos- 
sible by  providing  teachers  not  only  at  the  camps  but  in  the  commun- 
ities. Atlanta,  Ga.,  for  instance,  is  furnishing  French  teachers  for 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  educa.tional  director  at  camp;  Burlington,  Vt., 
Charleston,  S-  C-,  Chicago,  111.  (where  a five  hour  trip  is  involved 
for  the  teachers  going  to  Highland  Park,  ) Indianapolis,  Ind.,  Pensa- 
cola, Fla.,  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Spartanburg,  S.  C.,  Minneapolis  and 
St.  Paul,  Minn,  and  many  other  cities  are  performing  similar  services. 
In  Alexandria,  La.,  a grammar  school  has  been  opened  in  the  evening 
for  classes  in  French  and  History*  In  Chattanooga,  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation is  attempting  to  supply  the  educational  material  necessary  for 
the  300  men  enrolled  in  classes  in  camp,  many  of  whom  can  neither  read 
nor  write.  Three  hundred  fifty  arithmetics  sent  to  the  War  Recreation 
Board  by  the  American  Book  Company  of  Cincinnati  are  being  put  into 
excellent  use  at  camp. 

The  University  of  South  Carolina  at  Columbia  is  giving  courses  in 
French,  History,  Mathematics  and  Topography,  at  a nominal  rate.  Satur- 
day night  lectures  are  being  given  at  the  base  hospital  at  Camp  Cody 
by  teachers  from  Deming  High  School.  This  school  will  be  open  even- 
ings for  classes  in  French,  Spanish,  Mathematics,  Science  and  History. 
The  educational  work  for  the  men  at  Fort  Bliss  has  been  taken  over  by 
the  president  of  the  University  cf  Texas,  who  has  assigned  five  uni- 
versity instructors  and  three  volunteers  to  the  work,  the  army  provid- 
ing transportation  to  the  camp  for  the  instructors.  Two  thousand  men 
were  enrolled  in  the  classes.  At  Macon,  Ga*,  an  educational  course 
has  been  arranged  giving  high  school  and  college  credits. 

The  men  at  the  Navy  Yard,  through  the  courtesy  of  organizations 
in  Philadelphia,  are  having  instruction  in  automobile  mechanics, 
electricity,  typewriting  and  surveying,  as  well  as  in  academic  sub- 
jects. The  Universities  of  Wisconsin  and  California  are  sending  in- 
structors to  the  nearby  camps. 

Closely  allied  to  the  educational  work  at  the  camps  and  in  the  com- 
munities is  the  movement  which  has  spread  rapidly  through  all  the  camp 
cities  to  collect  books  and  magazines  for  the  men  in  camp  for  use  at 
the  Y.M.C. A. recreation  huts,  the  base  hospitals,  the  barracks  and  in 
many  instances  in  the  khaki  clubs  in  the  communities.  In  all  cf  this 
work  the  city  libraries  have  been  most  helpful  in  acting  as  clearing

houses  ar.d  in  sorting  and  grading  the  books  before  they  are  sent  to 
oarhp*  The  libraries  of  a number  of  cities  are  throwing  open  their 
facilities  to  the  soldiers  on  Sunday  afternoon  and  in  the  evenings 
when  the  iron  are  in  town*  Many  of  them  have  established  branch 
libraries  at-  the  carnrs- 

Many  interesting  plans  have  been  devised  for  collecting  the 
books  and  arousing  the  interest  of  the  communities  in  the  project* 

In  El  Paso  the  Boy  Scouts  helped  in  collecting  the  books  which  were 
catalogued  by  the  public  library  in  units  of  one  hundred*  At  Nogale s, 
Ariz._,  boxes  were  placed  in  various  parts  of  the  city  where  contri- 
butions might  be  made  regularly.  Atlanta  and  one  or  two  other  cities 
made  use  of  laundry  wagons  which  gathered  up  the  books  as  they  made 
their  collections.  The  hotels  were  asked  to  gather  up  the  magazines 
leftzby  their  guests.  Through  the  school  children  of  Augusta,  cir- 
culars telling  of  the  movement  and  providing  reading  matter  for  the 
soldiers,  reached  the  homes  of  the  city.  The  Girl  Scouts  were  active 
in  helping  to  gather  the  material.  The  local  committee  of  Dayton  se- 
cured a large  collection  of  technical  and  mechanical  magazines  through 
advertising  agencies.  The  public  library  of  Washington  undertook  the 
task  of  supplying  with  books  and  magazines  all  nearby  camps,  soldierii 
clubs,  rest  rooms  and  detached  guard  stations.  Moving  picture  films 
were  used  as  a medium  of  appeal  for  reading  matter.

Ijjtes  from  the  Camp  Library.  Camp  Funster, . Kansas 
Maintained  by  the  American  Library  Association 


Do  Bp Idlers  Lead9 

"Damned  if  this  isn’t  civilization’, " was  his  parting 
remark  to  his  companion,  after  the  two  of  them  had  looked 
around  the  new  Camp  Library  building  at  Funs tor,  read  magazine 3 
awile  , enjoyed  the  comfortable  chairs,  and  checked  out  a book 
apiece . 

On  the  evening  of  January  2,  two  men  in  the  "Engineers’ 

Camp"  had,  between  them,  Hall’s  "Kitchener’s  mob"  and  Viator 
Chapman’s  "Letters,"  both  books  from  the  Camp  Library.  Each  man 
read  his  book  through,  then  exchanged  with  his  friend.  They  read 
in  the  barracks  till  lights  were  out,  then  went  to  the  company 
bath-house,  where  lights  burn  all  night,  and  read  till  11:32  P«m. 
and  1-:  CO  a.m.,  respectively.  Both  men  read  both  books  through. 

Ian  Hay  Beith’ s "First  hundred  thousand"  was  read  at  one 
sitting  by  a man  comfortably  tipped  ba~k  in  a Windsor  arm-chair 
against  the  book  shelves.  He  read  right  through  the  formal 
speeches  at  the  library  "opening." 

Y.K.C.A.  Humber  1C  ’phoned  to  the  library  that  additional 
copies  of  the  novels  of  Harold  Bell  Wright,  Winston  Churchill, 

John  Eox,  Jr.,  and  also  "David  Harum"  and  Hepsy  Burke"  were  in 
demand.  Two  copies  of  each  wore  sent  promptly. 

The  poetry  of  Kilcy  and  Kipling  is  specially  in  demand  at 
Y.K.C.A.  Humber  1,  at  Eort  Riley.  The  library  has  filled  several 
requests  for  more  copies. 

The  six  copies  of  Hr.  C-crard’ 3 book,  "Hy  four  years  in 
.Germany,”  are  always  out.  Empoy’ s "Over  the  top"  (if  copies;  is 
always  : r.  use-  Coningsby  Dawson’s  " 9arry  on"  is  another  favor- 
ite. The  American  Library  Association  War  Service  headquarters, 
at  'Washington,  is  supplying  additional  copies  for  use  at  Funston. 

A few  sample  requests  received  at  the  central  library: 
Wireless  telegraphy.  Explosives.  Veterinary  medicine  and  sur- 
gery. Oscar  Wilde's  plays.  Geography  (especially  maps  and 
atlases; . Cipher  codes  and  do -ciphering  manuals.  Steam  engines. 
Hew  to  make  and  read  maps.  Trigonometry.  Calculus.  Homer’s 
Iliad  and  Odyssey  (in  the  original).  Spanish  easy  reading. 

Life  of  St; no  wall  Jackson.  Chemistry.  Bacteriology.  Liebknecht 
on  Militarism. 

A 9 ami  Library  in  a Blizzard 

On  January  10,11,  and  12,  Camp  Funston  was  visited  by  a 
Kansas  "blizzard,"  with  intense  cold.  The  library  was  kept  quite 
comfortably  warm,  and  had  an  average  attendance  of  visitors. 
Following  are  a few  notes  .from  those  days: 

Maeterlinck’ s "Wisdom  and  destiny"  was  asked  for  and  search- 
ed for  in  vain  'since  then,  received  from  A.L.A.  headquarters.) 

The  mar.  had,  read  it  in  part  at  homo,  wanted  to  finish  it  in  comp.  _ 
He  has  been  notified  .that,  t.ho  b^v  i-  , 


Camp  Funs ton  Library,  page  2 

A dozen  or  fifteen  pa.gos  of  concise,  up-to-date  (1917) 
information  on  meningitis  in  its  various  forms  was  furnished 
another  inquirer,  thanks  to  a good  lady  of  Manhattan,  Kansas, 
who  had  given  the  library  a relative’s  medical  library* 

Another  man,  a drafting  designer  in  civil  life,  wanted 
something  on  his  specialty,  becuase  "a  fellow  forgets  all  he 
knows.”  Thanks  to  someone  in  Kansas  City,  the  library  furnished 
him  with  a volume  of  the  I.C.S.  series,  exactly  on  his  subject. 
He  had  never  seen  it  before.  He  went  away  happy. 

The  educational  secretary  from  Y.h.C.A.  Humber  5 came  in 
on  one  of  these  days  to  get  all  possible  textbooks  in  grammar, 
spelling,  arithmetic,  algebra,  geometry,  trigonometry,  physical 
geography,  civics,  and  history.  The  library  was  able  to  give 
him  something  on  every  subject.  He  has  classes  in  many  of  these, 
but  rather  more  individual  students  pursuing  their  own  studies. 

Another  Y.M.C.A.  educational  secretary  was  in  during  the 
blizzard,  asking  for  help  in  organizing  a class  in  Pecimal  filing 
of  government  correspondence,  for  the  Quartermaster  and  other 
departmental  clerks , 

Another  15°  below  zero  visitor  brought  a friend,  seeking 
a Hitman  or  Graham  shorthand  instruction  book.  "He  can  pick  it 
up  right  off  with  a little  help  from  me  and  a book.”  Hut  the 
library  had  only  Eclectic  and  Gregg  books. 

Robert  Service’ s posijis  were  the  quest  of  the  educational 
3 ecrctary  of  ”Y”  Humber  7 on  this  cold  day,  for  some  of  his  men. 
He  has  had  a steady  demand  for  poetry.  He  carried  the  books 
back  with  him. 

On  the  morning  of  January  12,  with  the  thermometer  at  20° 
below,  the  camp  was  further  frozen  with  horror  at  the  bank 
robbery  and  murder  of  four  men  the  night  before.  Cnc  of  the 
first  visitors  at  the  library  was  an  officer,  a member  of  the 
investigating  commission.”  Ho  wanted  a book  to  read,  "not  too 
heavy,  but  something  to  occupy  my  mind.”  He  took  away  a Rex 
3eaoh . 

On  one  of  these  mornings  the  librarian  prepared  and  served 
coffee  to  the  several  temporary  soldier  assistants.  "Gay,  boy’- 
this  sure  ruins  what  they  call  coffee  at  our  mess’."  was  one 
response .

Riley  in  July  1917,  and  handed  the  key  of  the  building  at  Lieut.

The  Library  Building 


The  new  library  building  at  Funston  is  40xl2C  feet  in

former  library  working  quarters  (in  the  store-room  of  the  Y •>; . C .A» 
headquarters ) had  been  suspended  since  Thanksgiving,  ail  books 
and  magazines  being  delivered  to  the  library  building.  By  Bec- 
embor  2C  there  was  an  accumulation  of  more  than  sixty  cases  of 
books  and  twenty  tons  cf  magazines.  Between  Bee ember  20  and 
January  4,  the  librarian  and  assistant  (Messrs.  Kerr  and  Clayton), 
assisted  by  Lloyd  Hello ii  and  Glenn  KcPhoror.,  student  assistants 
from  the  Emporia  Uormal  library,  and  several  soldedrs  "retailed" 
by  the  camp  authorities  for  library  service,  opened  and  sorted 
the  books,  sorted  and  bundled  and  distributed  or  stored  the 
magazines,  installed  the  living  room  equipment  (two  rooms  and  bath 
at  one  end  of  building/,  received  and  put  into  daily  use  the 
library’ s Ford  auto  truck,  received  and  unpacked  the  building 
equipment  of  chairs  and  office  desks,  washed  tie  windows,  and  put 
up  the  w i n d o w dr aper ie s . 

The  staff  is  grateful  to  Misses  Irene  Gentry  and  Helen 
Road  and  Mrs.  Gentry,  of  the  Kansas  City  public  library,  for  their 
promot  and  generous  help  in  making  up  the  cretonne  side  draperies 
and  valence  for  the  windows.  The  draperies  add  an  attractive 
bit  of  color  (rose  and  tan)  and  a reminder  of  home  very  muon 


appreciated. 

The  equipment  of  tables  and  charging  desk  was  received 
January  14,  and  at  last  the  building  was  complete  — except  the 
oiling  and  staining  the  floors,  installing  storm  windows,  erect- 
ing the  outside  electric-lighted  sign  ("LIBRARY"  in  letters . 
two  feet  high),  putting  a coiling  over  the  living  rooms,  paint in 
the  exterior,  and  building  the  garage  and  magazine  store-house, 
most  <jf  which  exceptions  have  now  been  completed.  - ut  t..o 
building  has  been  in  hourly  use  by  officers  and  men  since  T c com- 
ber 19  and  ever,  before  that.  The  attendance  is  growing  daily. 
Hours*  of  opening  have  been  fixed  from  nine  a.rw  to  nine-thirty 
p«ru,  daily. 


Books 


Approximately  2G.  000  volumes  are  m the  central  .uild.  Kig 
and  branches.  These  constitute  a strong  collection  of  good 
all -round  non-fiction  and  fiction,  including  a remarkable  number 
cf  late  publications  in  all  lines.  The  purchases  from,  the 
American  Library  Association  War  Library  fund  are  arriving  almost 
daily,  and  are  being  put  into  immediate  circulation,  as  the 

selection  is  exactly  what  is  wanted.  _ _ _ 

Further  donations  of  books  from  citizens,  through  their 
public  libraries,  are  needed.  Any  sound  clean  book  is  useful. 
Textbooks  of  all  grades,  from  primers  and  Spellers  up  to  univer- 
sity texts,  are  in  great  demand , so  long  as  they  are  whole  and 
clear,  and  fairly  recent  in  publication.  Old  religious  books 
cannot  be  used.  Ha. va. 7. ire

7b  East  Washington  Street  , 

Cnicago,  111. 

Dear  Friends: 

While  in  the  Array,  I made  good  use  of  the  Camp  Libraries 
and  do  appreciate  ever  so  much  the  service  your  Association 
men  gave  me.  After  the  armistice  was  signed  I visited  the 
Library  practically  every  day  until  discharged  and  was  able 
to  study  and  complete  plans  for  ray  life-work.  I have  nothing 
but  praise  for  your  grand  work. 

The  War  Camp  Community  Service  friends  inform  me  that  if 
there  is  not  a public  library  in  a fellow's  home  town,  that  we 
should  write  to  you  friends.  There  is  no  Library  here  and  would 
like  to  inquire  if  it  would  be  possible  for  me  to  procure 
special  books  that  I want  from  time  to  time.  I w ould  not  care 
f or  a general  selection  but  is  there  a way  in  which  I can 
secure  a copy  of  a special  book  at  any  time?  I would  be  glad 
to  pay  for  such  a service  and  will  appreciate  any  information 
you  are  able  to  give  me. 


Respectfully  yours, 
s/  C.  S.  HUNSINGER 
Ex-Sergeant  Signal  Corps.
